seeds That Germiuatc 0uic,,iy

The human system is fruitful soil, and
among seeds that germinate most rapidly
In 1t are those Of rheumatism aud neu.
ralgia. A slight cold, brought on by sit
ting In draught, wet feet or damp clothes,
will develop either of those abominabie,
painful maladies with unpleasant rapidity.
The proper preventive of this agoniziu,
vegetation is Hostetters Stomach Bltlers,
q medicine which nulliles tendency to
either OF the maladies named, and so0thes
the aches which they cause. Nor Is It less
effective as remedy for rheumatism than
as its preventive, a fact as amply attestcd
as any other relatlBg to its curative prop
critics. Mariners, miners, frOntiersmen and
others, have ever found II faithful pre-
servative Of health In unfavOrable regions
and benign remedy for molariil disorders
and stomach, liver and bowel complaints
1t is fine promoter OF appetite and a capl-
tai tonic.

Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give Temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
is an Alternative and Blood-puritier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality and re-
stores the nervous system to healtliful
condition.
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was ont of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some inn
purity of the blood manifest but that
perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Frederick W. Pratt, 42i Washington
street, Boston, writes: "My daughter
was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to
health"
William Il. BowlSer, Erie, Pa, was
cured of nervousness and sleeplessness
by taking Ayers Sarsaparilla for about
two months, during which time his
weight increased over twenty pounds.

BEFORE the political war in this

BEFORE the political war in this
county opens, the DEMOCRAT wishes
to assure its political foes that its chief
wish is to see this campaign conduct
ed in an open. honorable manner, de-
void of mud singing and low person
alities. When this campaign closes
and the voice of the people is heard
calling whom they choose TO fill the
vorious Offices. we want to be able to
say that we enter the campaign as the
personal friend, though political en-
envy, of every man on the republican
ticket. Soft words and hard argu-
ments shall be our motto in this fight,
and if things creep into this contest
that should not, it shall not be our
fault. The opinions of the DEMOCRAT
are known of all men of democracy,
and SO believing we shall strive
with answering activity from now till
November Sth to see every man on our
ticket elected.
